Mace Defensive Sprays

Mace Spray Self Defense Line of Pepper Sprays

Mace was the brand name of the first commercial defense spray, which came out in the 1970s. The product has since continued to evolve through research and technology. Pepper sprays that have strong but safe formulations, innovative forms, and powerful distances and delivery systems, all made in the USA, represent Mace spray self defense at present. The brand is an industry leader, and a household name that is synonymous with pepper spray.

Invented in 1965, Mace began as CN (phenacyl chloride) tear gas spray. Today it is OC (oleoresin capsicum) pepper spray, although the Triple Action models combine OC pepper and CN tear gas, with UV marking dye thrown in. Tear gas sprays are irritants while pepper sprays are inflammatory solutions. Both types are lachrymatory agents that cause the eyes to overproduce tears, swell to the point of shutting, and suffer temporary blindness.
